With all due respect to the battle between the two Tel Avivians that will take place tomorrow, the evening game (Sunday, 18:45) in the semi-finals of the State Cup between Bnei Herzliya and Hapoel Holon also has a lot to sell.
Professional-mental state
Optimal for both groups.
Herzliya arrives after a perfect week that included a league victory over Maccabi Rishon LeZion, and later a loss by Hapoel Jerusalem raised it to first place in the league. By the way, the team from Sharon is the first in the league to reach a double-digit balance of victories.
Holon, on the other hand, comes after a big victory over Ludwigsburg in the Champions League that did it a double service: it both opened the way for it in the factory and also brought back Tyros Maggie in a big way.
The guard who returned to the team gave a performance in the debut game, which is a huge addition of power to the Purples.

The players who may prevail
In Holon, it's Maggie, as well as Joe Ragland, but of course she also has "Mr. Cup", Guy Pnini.
On the Herzliya side, there are two top players when it comes to a club of such an economic size.
Chinano Onoako, who will reach the highest levels of European basketball, and guard Chris Bab, who was already there.

Coaches
Guy Goodes in Holon is much more experienced, but Oren Aharoni's achievement is enormous.
Goodes has been in the finals three times since 2015. For Aharoni, this is actually the first senior coaching season in the Premier League (except for one season almost a decade and a half ago) and he is already strong on both fronts - league and cup.

He already has one trophy in his career,
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
